Clarence Baily, and E. W. Drake, Sr. Minot, N. D. -- Slowly roasting to death under tons of red hot bricks in plain view of their comrades who are unable to assist them, E. W. Drake, Sr., and Clarence Baily met a tragic death at Kenmare Wednesday. The big kiln of the Kenmare Brick and Coal company bursted Wednesday morning when but ten hours from completion. Drake, who is the manager of the plant, was buried up to his arms in the red hot pile and it was not for over 30 minutes that he could be reached by the rescuers. Baily, who is the 17-year-old son of a prominent farmer, was completely entombed and was not found for an hour. His body was roasted to a crisp
